Just double checking I received a DHL message saying "A payment for importation charges is due for..." - i ve paid but it seems a lot less than i was expecting? Please tell me this is the import tax or is 'importation charges' something additional?

For Belgium, Sideshow has to use the code for the toy so maybe for you it's the code for art statue?

Unless you're made of money, I think that's a wise decision Matt.
I've always admired this sculpt - but the size and likely shipping + tax + duty charges stopped me from ordering.
Just too much real-estate and even though I've bought NOTHING (as regards mass-produced pre-paints) since the Sideshow Wolf 1:2 LSB fiasco, I knew the PRIME1 & Infinity Studios Jungle Hunter and City Hunter sculpts would be released eventually.
I'm still hoping PRIME1 release the A3 heads separately.
(* EDIT *) Hope you don't lose your NRD if you cancel

I'd love to buy that thing, but after much back & forth, it's just too much money for me to actually buy it.

It isn't a decision I took lightly as this thing is beautiful! And I will try to get it later (There's a chance with it's relatively large ES that I may even get a better deal although I'm not counting on that) But there's a few reasons why I'm thinking of reclaiming the $1400 or so I've already paid towards this. I still have no idea where I'm going to put this. And prime 1's Jungle & City hunters have become my new priorities for now. With their 1/4 big chap just around the corner. This would be a luxury that wouldn't fit in and it will fund a statue that I wouldn't have been able to get otherwise (That amazing Jungle hunter) I will get the NRD back as it was delayed by around 27 years...

Still no email.. I wonder if I should change my order to single payment, that seems to kick it up the chain it seems?

By the looks of how people have been notified by SS about this, it looks like they're receiving them in slightly staggered batches, so I'm guessing you should be sent yours pretty soon.

Mines arrived, unboxing now, thing is huge.
Edit: Aaaand leg and hand pegs don't fit properly no matter what, so won't sit flush on the base.

Mine was estimated for tomorrow but turned up today.
Hand peg wont go in anymore as the finger tips are already touching base, so maybe it's supposed to be that way? But the foot peg won't go in all the way as the weight of the statue brings it back out.
Trying to upload a pic but it keeps failing, that and it's a mission even posting a comment with this site constantly logging me back out, not loading etc.
yeah same keeps happening to me - keeps logging me out and sometimes cant access the actual page.
I ve started posting on the statue forum prime1 dog alien thread. Hope you can post some eventually also hope the pegs fit in somehow

DHL charged me ?85 for the VAT etc, which surprised me as I thought I would have to pay nearly ?300 as that's the 20% of the total statue price? Or am I still in for a nasty bill from someone?

What did you pay ?89 for already? Customs should all come at once. But it should be higher than that unless you got lucky. Where did you buy it from and who delivered it etc?
Yep this is the same as me - i ordered a few weeks back direct from sideshow. It hasn't arrived yet but the text said "a payment for import charges ins due for ?86" which i have paid. it says its due tomorrow but the status still says "Processed at CINCINNATI HUB - USA"
Finger crossed it arrives tomorrow and that i dont get a surprise tax bill for ?300 on top!
